CHURCH of ENGLAND BIBLE ONLY ASSOCIATION, for purging her Formularies of Faith and Worship, from the Worst and Most Mischievous leaven of Popery—Unscriptural Phraseology. " We have a Popish Liturgy."—Lord Chatham. This charge of our great Patriot Statesman, against the Church and State Liturgy, is too severe ; as was that of our learned Monarch, calumnious, when he said that " it was no better thanan ill-said Mass without the liftings." The great body of its devo tions might do honour to any Protestant Church ; but it has what certainly no Protestant Liturgy can have, consistently with an honest profession of exclusive reverence for Holy 'Writ, the Popish nomenclature of " God the Son—God the Holy Ghost—and Trinity." Nothing can be more in character or place then this nomenclature in a Catholic Chapel, nor less so in a Protestant place of Worship. The qusetio here is not between•the Unitarian and the Trinitarian, but between the advocate of Tradition and the ad vocate of Scripture. The advocate of Tradition boldly admits, or rather contends, that the diction of our Saviour and his Apostles upon some of the fundamental tenets of the Gospel, is too scanty and defective for an accurate and full developement of them : the advocate of Scripture professes, at least, to believe that that diction is all-sufficient for the faith and wor ship of a Christian. These two principles, if equally honest i n both cases,• arc as opposite as darkness and light. How then can they legitimately lead to .one and the same result in practice? Here, and here only, we take our stand. To the doctrine itself, as members of this Association, we make no objection : we protest only against the manner in which that doctrine has been expressed. y Nor do we consider ourselves as renouncing the charael-er of churchmen ; because, as Christians, we desire that a particular tenet of the Church may be discovered only by others, where only we profess . to have discovered it ourselves, in the ipsissima verba o the Son of God, and his immediate missionaries. And we are most sincerely of opinion, that we are doing no snore than giving utterance to a sentiment entertained by thousands and ten thousands within the pale of the Establishment at the present day, when we would fain whisper - a wish not to find any longer in her creeds or in her liturgy an editio auctior et emendatior Of the word of God.

London Lonmnan Rees, Orme, and Co, ELECTION OF MAGISTRATES FOR THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL. LivEaPoor., JAN. 112.--This day, Tuesday, the new town council met for the purpose of electing magistrates, pursuant to the instructions of the Municipal Reform Act. The town council may be said to recommend, : rather than elect the persons to fill the onerous situation of magistrates for the borough, as the ultimatum • rests with the Privy Council. But it is understood that the latter body - will confirm all the appointments made *the town councils throughout the Kingdom, Lord John Russell having, in the House of Commons, distinctly stated that such was the in tention of Government. In this borough, the election of the magistrates excited far more interest than did the election of Aldermen, or in deed any act of the council since its existence. People ge nerally seemed to regard it as an event of great impor tance, from the circumstance that every individual who is now appointed as magistrate, retains the situation dur ing life. Several members of the present council, who were elected simply because they professed themselves warm Reformers, incurred considerable odium with their several constituen cies, on account of voting for Tories to fill the office of al derman. But notwithstanding this, not a single Tory al derman was elected. Those who voted for Tories on that occasion are scarcely chargeable with treachery or apostasy, as many of them were influenced by the opinion that as the Reformers had such a preponderating majority in the new council-43 to :::—they could afford to admit a few Tories to fill the honorary distinction of aldermen. The ebullition of feeling directed against those Reform- ers who voted Tories on the election of the aldermen, had a very seasonable effect on the present, and unquestionably more important occasion, for out of the twenty-four gentle men named as magistrates, there is not a single Tory! There arc two individuals who may be what is termed Con servative Whigs, but all the rest are intelligent, respectable, and Liberal, men—the cream, in fact, of the Reformers of Li verpool. The result has necessarily given great satisfaction throughout. the town. Liverpool was once considered a stronghold of Toryism ; but it has been all but purified during the last three weeks of that political excrescence. We have now a liberal and high-minded Chief Magistrate, a liberal and resolute Town Council, busily employed in applying, the pruning -kook to the abuSes which Toryism engendered ; and what, perhaps, is better than all, a bod 3 of liberal and excellent Magistrates elected for life. The changes which the Municipal Reform Act will work in Liverpool, are in calculable. The Tory party in this town are nearly politi cally defunct ; the proceedings of ' to-day have rung the knell of Toryism in this borough. What a change we have witnessed ! The . prostrate and pitiable condition of the defunct Corporation, contrasts most amusingly with the overbearing insolence of the men who composed it. Verily, a day of retribution bath arrived! The following are the gentlemen nominated by the Coun cil as Magistrates :—Mr. S. Hope, Mr. C. Rawdon, Mr. C. Birch, Mr. J. Bolton, Mr. W. Rathbone, Mr. E. Evans, Mr. R. Roskell, Mr. Sharpies ; Mr. R. Benn, Mr. S. Holmes, Mr. Logan, Mr. 0. Hayworth, Mr. H. Horn by, Mr. W. E ar l e , Mr. E. Cropper, Mr. W. Currie, Mr. W. Brown, Mr. J. Rathbone, Mr. J. Ewart, Mr. R. E. Harvey, Mr. D. Hodgson, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. R. V. Yates, Mr. H. Earle. The last six names are not members of the present Coun cil all the others are. THE CITY OF NEW YORK. The following particulars regarding this great city cannot fail to be read with interest at the present moment, so large a portion of it having been lately eestroycd by fire : " New York, which is by far the largest and most populous city in the United States, is situated on the junction of two rivers, the Hudson and the East. It stands on an island formed by these two rivers and a small river called Haarlem, which unites them.- The island is fifteen miles in length, measuring from south to north, and its average breadth is about a mile end a half. The city was founded towards the close of the seventeenth century. In 1697 the population amounted only to 4,302 ; in 1756 it had only increased lo 13,040; in 1790 the population was 33,031 ; in 1810 it was 96,373. In the short space of twenty years, after the latter year it had more than doubled, being, in 1830, 227,021. The computed population at the present moment is 240,000. The number of persons who voted in 1820 in the election of mem bers of Congress was upwards of 21,005. In the same year the revenue of the city was 1,036,000 dols., and the expenditure amounted to 1,033,449 do's. The debt at the same period was 774,455 dols., the revenue collected at the custom-house was 21,756,709 dollars, and the foreign tonnage which entered the port was 450,808 tons. In 1825 the number of deaths which occurred in New York was 5,018; of which a sixth part took place from consumption. The returns ordered by Congress, in 1829; stated the amount of banking capital in the city to he 15,960,493 dollars ; but since then several new banks have been established. It is computed that the capital now invested in the banking business cannot he less than 20,000,000 dol lars. The number of churches and chapels in the city !s about 150 ; they are well filled, and belong to every denomi nation of Christians. There are many sects in New York, and in various parts of America, which are unkown in this country. Some of the churches are extremely handsome in their architecture, and are splendidly ornamented within. Bible, Missionary, And other religious and benevolent So cieties are extremely numerous, so are the schools for all kinds of education. Its chief place of education is Columbia Col lege. It is a magnificent building, has professors in every department of literature, science, and art, and is well attended by students from the various states in the union. It • possesses an estate, the estimated value of which is 400,000 dollars. The literary and scientific instisutions of New York are also numerous. The most ancient of these is the Society Library, founded in 1754, and now containing upwards of 22,000 vols. This city has two Academies of the Fine Arts—the one is called the American, the other the National. The former is supported by amateurs, the latter by artists.

C IVI LI TY.-A young gentleman being found in the Strand asleep at an unseasonable hour yesterday morning, was - brought before the Magistrate at Bow-street, when he confessed he had been very tipsy. -" Young man," said the Magistrate, you should be very sorry." " I am sorry." " You must be fined." Handing over the money, "I am fined." - Preparations arc making for the trial of Marin, the alleged murderer of Miss Bethell. Several witnesses were examined on Monday before the Royal Court, for the defence in this case ; and it is expected that the depositions will be concluded to-morrow.—Jersey Argus. ,er disappointed in the expectktion the Committee had formed of One pf the Members of Parliament, who was a member of their Assdciation, they:couldonly cast theinSelites on the generosity of the citizens of, London assembled in the room, - and allow them to choose a Chairman for themselves. On the motion of a Gentleman, the Rev. Mr. Jones was then : proposed as. Chairman, and the motion was carried amidst deafening acclamation. The Rev. CHAIRMAN then rose; and said that until another mor4 efficient Chairman was elibsen, lie must exercise his epis copal functions, being a Clergyman of the Chureli of Eng landi in the best way he c0u1d....--( Hear, hear.) He appeared before them— • • • Here the Chairman was interrupted by a Gentleman in the body of the room, who stated his name to be the Rev. Mr. Thorbury. Rev. Mr. THORBURY—I am a clergyman of the Church of England, and deny your right to preside at this meeting.-- (Loud cries of " Order," and " Platform.") Th e Rev. Gentleman then mounted the platform, and asked whether he was to be heard? CllAlßMAN—Certainly not, at present. Everyone will be ,heard in due order. .;And this Rev. Gentleman will be heard afterwards. Rev. Mr. Tnortauay—l maintain—( Here the Rev. Gen tleman's voice was drowned amidst the uproar which took place. He afterwards descended from the platform.) The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to stale, at some length, that he was one of a number of clergymen of the Church of England who had in all parts of the country formed them selves into an association for the purpose of effecting a sepa ration of the unscriptural union of Church and State. He had been appointed by this association, being himself a member of it, to visit different parts of the country to awaken the public mind on this most important subject.—( Loud cheers.) After reading a number of letters from various clergymen of the Church, enforcing the desirableness of a separation between Church and State, he proceeded to state the great principles on which the association was founded, and to establish which was the great object they had iu view. These principles were the following : " 1. That the Lord Jesus Christ is the sole rightful Head of all the Churches in England, and the King, or more ac cessarily, the future Queen of England, must resign that title and authority. " 2. That it is the right of the Christian people, under their divine head, freely to choose their own Ministers, to the tho rough abolition of political patronage, and the removal of the Bishops from the House of Peers. " 3. That the ordinance of the Lord, respecting the provi sion for the clergy, requires the abolition of all compulsion in every form, whether of tithes, church-rates, marriage fees, payments for baptismal registration, or burial dues; that Church property consequently (that obtained by private bequest excepted, and due regard being had to the present legal rights of individuals) must be transferred to his Ma jesty's Exchequer, to be employed to relieve the national burdens, and then all parties left to support the ministers of their own choice, according to God's word." The readier , of these principles were followed by deafening cheers, mingled with a few faint hisses. The Rev. Chair man then proceeded to prove, at great length, that the King was not the head of the Church. He showed that such a doctrine was unknown until broached by Henry VIII., for the purpose of usurping power over the Church. The celebrated Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, and Sir Thomas More, both sub mitted to die on the scaffold, rather than acknowledge the King as the head of the Church. Cranmer also protested against the doctrine, except under certain limitations. The Chairman, after remarking that all the Reformers disclaimed the doctrine of the King's headship of the Church, went on to show, both from reason and scripture, the absurdity of this doctrine of Kingly headship of the dhurch. He next pro ceeded to establish the second point—namely, that the people Ought to have the power of choosing their own ministers. On this, as on the other principle, the Rev. Chairman expatiated at great length and amidst deafening applause. He instanced a number of most flagrant abuses of ecclesiastical power, in forcing upon the people of England most improper persons as their clergymen. No fewer than 5,250 of the beneficed cler gymen of the Church of England were at this moment non resident. Political patronage in the Church has now,become a matter of sale and barter.--(Loud cheers.) He next came to the kind principle, on which he also remarked at consider able length. It was a dictate of reason no less than of Scrip sure, that those only who preach the Gospel should live by the Gospel. The labourer only was worthy of his hire. He maintained the clergy had no right, even spiritually, to exact tithes from Dissenters. Under the Old Testament dispensa tion, the heathen or gentiles were never called upon to pay tithes.—(Tremendous cheering.) Even the Jews were not compelled by law to pay tithes. They were only called to pay them on religious considerations. The Scotch people had most satisfactorily and scripturally settled the question of Church property. They carried the whole of it into the national treasury, for the purpose of relieving the public bur dens, and then told the people to go and support any clergy man and any religion they pleased.—(Deafening cheers.) He then showed that the property of the Church was, under the existing system, completely misappropriated. The work ing clergy of the Church were about 10,000 ; but among this 10,000 there were only about 1,109,000/. divided, out of 7,000,0001. or 8,000,0001. belonging to the Church. The rest was enjoyed by the 5..850 non-resident, non-working clergy. If the people of England would only bestir them selves in this matter, he would answer for it, from his own ex perience, that the working clergy would cordially co-operate with them.—( Immense cheering. 5 The Rev. Chairman, after various other observations, concluded by adverting to the constitution of the Society, and by moving a resolution to the effect that the inhabitants of the City of London, in meeting assembled, become members of the Association for effecting a Separation between Church and State. A GENTLEMAN seconded the motion, and then moved, that, as it would be illegal for the Chairman to sit in the chair on a motion of his own making, Dr. Epps should be called to the chair. The motion was seconded and carried. The Rev. Mr. TRORBURY, the gentleman who formerly endeavoured to address the meeting, then rose, amidst great uproar. The confusion having subsided, he proceeded to say, no man would be more ready than he to do the Rev. Gentle man who addressed the meeting all homage ; but he wished he had had a better cause to support.—( Laughter, and cries of • " Oh, oh !") In the first place he asserted that the first prin.. ciple, stating that the King was head of the Church, had no right to be put down as a principle of dissent. He maintained that the Church of England did not consider the King as head of the Church. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded, amidst repeated manifestations of dissatisfaction, to argue in support of this position. Dissenters themselves received the Regium .Donum.—(Loud cries of " Oh, oh !" and great interruption.) Dr. EPPS, the chairman, said the Rev. Gentleman was quite in order. It was a disgrace to Dissenters to receive the Re gium Donum.—( Great, uproar.) The Rev. GENTLEMAN resumed. He would admit the se cond principle was one of dissent. He maintained the people had no right to choose their pastors—( Oh, oh ! and much up roar.) Let any one show him a text of Scripture to prove they had such a right. He was no bigot—he was not blind to the faults of his own Church—he saw her blots ; but let those blots not be removed by the hands of an enemy.—( Partial cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman, after observing that, he re ceived no emoluments from the Church, abruptly sat down, and shortly after left the room. Mr. J. F. LAW then addressed the meeting. The Regium Donum was not, as alleged, given to the Dissenters ; it was not given to the voluntaries. It was enly to the licentiate Presbyterians of the Church of Scotland •in Ireland that that money was given. —(Loud cheering.) The voluntaries did not wish to interfere with the opinions of the Church—they only sought to interfere with her in so far as she interfered with the political movements of the country.—( Loud cheers.) They did not wish to interfere at all with the Church on the other side of the Tweed, because she had nothing to do with the money of the people. Episcopacy has not succeeded in Ireland, even though armed with the strong arm of British soldiers...._( Loud cheers.) The b °Teat philosophical truth was there proved t o d emon stration, that " A man convinced against his will, Is of the same opinion still." Mr. Law, after some further observations, concluded amidst loud cheering. Various other speeches were made, after which the motion was carried, and the meeting adjourned to another day, to di-cuss certain details connected with the working of the Asso ciation. PERT fr.---The fishings belonging to the commu nity of Perth were let by public roup last Thursday. There is a great falling off in the rent from that under the former lease, which must tell heavily on the annual revenue of the city. The rent during the former lease was 1,9961. per annum.

DREADFUL AND ALA RMING EXPLOSION.—On Monday afternoon, about one o'clock, the inhabitants of John-street, Oxford-street, and the vicinity, were thrown into the utmost terror and confusion, in consequence of a tremendous explosion which shook the houses to their foun dation, and was heard at more than the distance of half a mile. Immediately after the shock a dense cloud of steam and dust . was seen Issuing from the extensive premises of Mr. George Smith, coffin-maker and undertaker, of No. 4, in the above street, when it was soon ascertained that a steam apparatus, fitted up for the purpose of warming the house, had suddenly burst with such a violent explosion as to throw down a wall eighteen inches thick, and force the windows into the street, overturning every thing that op posed it. Mr. Langley, the clerk, who was sitting at his desk in the counting-house, in the rear of the shop, near which the boiler was situated, was thrown from his seat, and buried under a heap of bricks and other materials, and was with great difficulty rescued from his dreadful situation, when it was discovered that he had recerved , very severe in juries on the head and other parts. After surgical assist ance had been obtained he was conveyed to his lodgings in St. John's Wood, where he remains in a state of great suf fering. Mr. Smith, who was in an adjoining apartment, with two of his children, at the time, fortunately escaped with only a cut on the head from a piece of glass ; and it providentially happened that all the workmen had left the shop for the purpose of getting their dinners ; had it not 'been so, the consequences to some of them must have been fatal. The damage done is very considerable, the whole of the glass front being shivered to pieces, and scattered about the street. The desk at which the clerk was sitting is shattered to fragments, and the inkstand forced up into the Ceiling. Mrs. Smith had only been put to bed a few hours. So 7iolent was the concussion that a glass lamp which stood in her room up stairs was broken to pieces. The apparatus, which had never been found to answer, was fixed up about six weeks ago by a person named Mosier, residing in Turk's Head -court, Oxford-street. A MAD Cow.--Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Monday forenoon, an over-driven cow started from a drove which was proceeding along Holborn, and ran off at full speed in the direction of St.' Giles's Church, near which she ran at an old apple-woman, who was sitting by a stall at the corner of New Compton-street, whom she lifted upon the post against which the stall was placed, providentially without doing her any injury. By Meux's brewery she ran at a young man who was crossing the road, who, putting up his umbrella, saved himself, and turned the animal towards Oxford-street. Near Wardour-street she knocked down a man who was crossing the street with a load on his head, who was much injured. The infuriated animal con tinued her course along Oxford-street, running at every thin.' in her way, until she arrived at Hellos-street, up which she turned into Cavendish-square, the circuit of which she made, followed by upwards of two thousand men and boys ; and passing along Margaret-street, she regained Oxford-street by way of John-street. At the moment of her passing the premises of Messrs. Smith, the undertakers, in that street, a tremendous explosion took place, one of the pipes of a stove used for warming the premises bursting with a loud report, and severely wounding the clerk who was sitting in, the counting-house, which is destroyed by the ex plosion. The , shop-window was also forced out, several pieces of which struck the cow as she passed, and increased her fury. After proceeding some distance along Oxford street in the direction of Cumberland-gate, the enraged animal ran at a- lad who was standing at the window of a hosier's shop, who,-jumping aside, her horns struck the window with great force, and shivered several squares of glass. At the corner of Park-lane she ran at another woman, who, with great presence of mind, dogged the cow round a post„ when, finding herself foiled, she vented her fury upon the poor woman's stall, which she totally destroyed, tossing the fragments into the air. Her attention was then attracted by a dog, which she followed into the Park, to the great alarm of both equestrians and pedestrians, who fled in all directions, and having jumped over the wooden railings and crossed the head of the Serpentine, she paid a visit to the Life Guards Barracks, from which she was soon ejected. She then proceeded along the Park until she ar. rived near Kensington-gate, when she dropped from ex haustion. The mob at that time was so great, that it was co nsidered necessary to send for a b o dy o f police, and in a short time parties of the C and T divisions arrived, and kept back the crowd. At four o'clock, a cart was procured, to which she was, with great diffictilty,..lashed, and con veyed to the premises of Mr. Smith, hatchet, 146, Edge ware-road, without doing any further mischief. The colossal tow er o Tervier, in the island of Wal cheren, built in the centre of the church, which had been converted into a hospital, fell down last week. There were three hundr e d p at i ents i n i t , And many of them were injured ; but when the account came away, only seven had been found dead. Neither of the theatres in New York suffered from the dreadful conflagration in that city, which will, however, be injurious to their interests for some time to come, from the extent of the mischief and the great number of persons whose property will be involved in the calamity. -1-1 0 ,-sham, sh oema k er , surren dered to take PEVAVORTii SESSION.

Defendant pleaded gullty. C_ lIAIRMAN sa id, During the progress of the trial Well, Mills, what have you to say ? Defendant Mills—Great misrepresentati.ans were made of what I said respecting the treatment of the children in Shipley work-house ; and when I was brolight before the Bench about the matter, they refused to a;low me to call witnesses to prove what I had said, but called- toup on sa me to find recognizances. That it was that induced no it was " a rascally proceeding." CHAIRMAN—Do you still believe the children' were shamefully treated ? Defendant—l have that belief. I think if I had not fetched the children away they would have perished. CHAIRMAN—We have given you every -opportunity t/4 retract your mischievous reports and equally mischievous conduct, those reports being disproved by the testimony of several good witnesses, all of whom speak to the good treatment of the 'paupers, and some even speak to "a well stocked larder. It seems also that the poor receive the same allowance of food as before the passing of the new poor law. ; Defendant—l don't mean any offence, but I . can't belie my conscience. Ido believe the children were not well treated. CiimamAN—We are sorry that you still adhere to that assertion. The judgment of the Court is, that you be im prisoned in Petworth House of Correction for six weeks, and at the end of that term that you enter into your own recognizances in 20/., and give two sureties in 10 / . e ach , to be of good- behaviour for two years ; and that you bc• further imprisoned till such recognizances and sureties be lodged.. The ejrighton Guardian, - from .whose report_ we have made the above extracts, has the following remarks on this Case : Although we feel too sensitively to allow:our:elves at the present moment to write on the subject, convinced that it would not bn wholesome to our state that we should do so, Ive.cannot refrain from calling attention to the case of an elderly man named Mills, which will be found fully re ported in onr Petworth Sessions news. Our contempora ries, who are more removed from the scene of action, who only read the report, but did not witness the proceedings and receive the burning and indelible impression they were en well calculated to make, may with safety comment on them ; we feel only at liberty to say that, judging from appearances, the defendant would merely have been bound over to keep the peace, had lie repudiated the rumours in question—but being unable, despite the impending sword of angry JuStiee, to " belie his conscience," he is sent to prison for six weeks, which we call " suffering for con science. sake." IMPROVEMENT IN Looms.----A wearer at Black burn has invented a new mode of making metal healds for weaving silk, worsted, cotton, linen, or any other fibrous substance, from which cloths made ; and it is said the discovery will effect a great saving both to power and hand loom manufacturers. - FALL OF A CHAIN BRIDGE.—In the afternoon of Saturday last, the chain bridge over the. river Calder, on the Denby Dale road, between Thornes and Dirtcar, about a mile from Wakefield, suddenly fell in with a tremendous crash. The bridge, which was erected so recently as 1828, had two roads ; and it was that on t h e western side which gave way ; it was more generally used than the other, being on the same side as the toil house. At the time a horse and gig (driven by one of the servants from Bretton Hall) a waggon with three horses , and a Cart with three horses, both loaded with barley, belonging to Mr. Bayldon, Hollinghurst, and a cart with one horse, with a load of ashes, were on the bridge, and fell with it. Immediate as sistance was rendered from tie farm of Mr. Andrew Car ver. It is a most singular and fortunate circumstance that, with the exception of the gig horse, no lives were lost ; it got entangled in the chains, and was hung above the water ; three other horses were hung in a similar way, but were released in time to save their lives. The driver of the gig was so severely bruised es to require surgical aid ; he is, however, gradually recovering from the di r ects of the acci dent. Another of tire drivers had luckily paused to talk with the barman, and. was in conversation with him at the moment the bridge fell. The weight in passage across the bridge has been - estimated at .about 14 tons. The water at Ellie part of the river, in the absence of afresh, is seldom above three or four feet deep ; tar.: , may have been about its depth on Saturday.. The - horses were soon taken out of the river, and the carts, as well as nearly the whole of the barley, were afterwards recovered.- We have heard it stated that the bridge originally cost 4,0001., and that the estimated cost of one built of stone was 6,ool:l.—Leeds liztelligcncer Df Saturday. • THE WOMAN CHARGED WITH POISONING HER. HUSBAND.—On Thursday morning the prisoner was again placed at the bar, and the evdenee against her was then gone into at sonic length. We :sad prepared a detailed re port of it, for which, howeVer, we clearly proved, as well as repeatedly have no room. It was prisoner, that she bad purchased a penn,v% ac _knovvledged by the - orth of arsenic at the shop of Mr. Thomas Goodman, el-n-Wist, Oldham Road, stating that she wanted it to poison ..-a.ts ; and in a statement she made to Mr. Thomas, she said ibat the dc i;ato which ceased being poorly, she made him some gruel, she put some of the arsenic b y mistake, su pp osing- to be Tith suear. Being asked by Boo th how she found out lie""es. titi:e, she said, " I tasted i t. " He - next asked her, Did you give it - to your husband after that?" and she replie.i, "He would have it." The prisoner declined to enter into any defence, except that she stated she had gone out of the way because she was in . debt. She was fully com mitted to Kirkdale House of Correction for trial at the assizes for the southern division of the county,—Maachesfer Gazette. MAIDENHEAD, JAN. S.—Two men were ta l et'l into custody on suspition of setting fire to the outbuildinjs and ricks of Mr. Alloway, of Stroud farm, on Saturday' morning last, but they have been discharged, there being no evidence to implicate them. As soon as the fire was dis covered an alarm was given at Maidenhead, and assist ance Was rendered with the most praiseworthy activity. To Mr. Bigg, of the Maidenhead subscription engine, and to Mr. James Lovegrove and Mr. Woodhouse, who took their engines, the greatest praise is due ; and to the troop of Royal Horse Guards, who, under the command of Colonel Hill, drew their engine the whole distance from Windsor to the scene of devastation, and most me ritoriously exerted themselves, may be attributed the final subduing of the fire without greater loss .than has been occasioned. The conduct of the troops was the subject of general eulogium. At one time there were three or four ricks on fire, and the scene then presented a truly awful appearance, and, bad it not been for the gallantry and intrepidity displayed by those who had volunteered their assistance, the whole must have been destroy-ed. The estimated loss is about 800/., and the property was insured in the County Fire-office. The farm and buildings are the property of the Corporation of Reading. It is impossible to imagine whist motive could have induced any feelings of resentment towards Mr. Alloway; whose name, stanCs deservedly high with the labourer, as a good and excel , lent master. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—On Monday a Com mission of Lunacy was held at the New London Bridge Hotel, High-street, Southwark, before Mr. Commissioner Whitmarsh, to inquire into . the state of mind of Miss Fre derica Dickenson, to whom property had recently devolved by the death of her mother. Miss Caroline Streetor de posed that she had known Miss Dickenson for the last twenty years, at the commencement of which period they went to school together at Woolwich. At that period Miss Dickenson- was an exceedingly lively girl, possessing a high flow of spirits, and was considered very accomplished. _For the last four or five years witness had seen her frequently, and her demeanour was that of an insane person. One of the peculiarities of the disease was a habit that she had of walking backwards, when taken out for the purpose of exercise ; and when remonstrated with, would still persist in the act. She was also . in the habit of breaking out into immoderate fits of laughter, although there was nothing to calla forth. At other times she would talk upon religious topics, and in the midst of it suddenly break off and re vert to other subjects of a totally different nature. sl'c would inquire why people died, and express her ld put surprise that they did not live for ever. At times she wou of her dress the wrong side out ; and, even in the presence o company, Would squat on the floor of the parlour, instead of taking a chair, or sitting on the sofa. Sarah Best, a servant who used to wait on Miss Dickenson at her mo ther's house, described many of t h e peculiarities under which she laboured ; and a mongst them, that when dinner was placed on the table, and the course did not exactly suit her taste, she wouldinmnainngifesatthtehredispleasuremb Miss thump ingssarSarah on the table, and Pell, who keeps a boarding-school at Brixton, stated that Miss Dickenson had been an inmate of her house for eleven yearc during which period she had betrayed great imbeci lity of mind, approaching to childishness. She was in the habit of sitting on the staircase, and talking to herself in a strain that no one could understand, and this for hours to gether. She seldom employed herself, or amused herself by reading ; and although she-never exhibited violence, yet she was in that state of mind that, in witness's opinion, she was quite incapable of managing her affairs.
